CyboEnergy has developed a solar power Mini-Inverter that possesses the key merits of both central inverters and microinverters. The company has released a family of off-grid and on/off-grid CyboInverters that can run Inverter-Air-Conditioners (IAC) without batteries.

CyboEnergy develops a solar power mini-inverter with benefits of both central inverters and microinverters. Now the company has standardized its product family to have 58-V input channel limits to support most 60- or 72-cell panels up to 330 W, 48-V lead-acid batteries, 20- to 55V lithium batteries and certain wind and hydro-generators. New product spec sheets are released and downloadable.

With the rapid deployment of renewable energy, some areas of the grid can no longer accommodate additional solar. Hawaii ended its solar net-metering program in 2015 and its utilities have imposed restrictions to avoid solar loads on the grid. In April, California's ISO forced temporary shutdown of some large solar farms to avoid grid instability. Off-grid solar is increasingly becoming a good option for these kinds of markets-especially for heating and cooling.

Changes in temperature, precipitation, and sea level due to global warming are causing severe weather events which can shut down power grids for hours and even weeks. Since modern infrastructure is built upon electricity, losing grid power causes significant disruption and hardship. There is a growing need to have backup power readily available when natural disasters occur.

"CYBOENERGY: On/Off-Grid CyboInverter - The 4-channel 1.2-kW On/Off-Grid CyboInverter has an on-grid output port and an off-grid output port. When the grid is on, it works like an on-grid inverter. When the grid goes down, it automatically switches to off-grid mode providing backup power. Each input channel has its own MPPT to maximize power production."

"Cheng, whose related companies are CyboSoft and CyboEnergy, won four patents in 2015, and two the year earlier. Three were for various innovations in mini-inverters for solar photovoltaic arrays. Another was for an adaptive controller for advanced power plants."

"The rapid growth of solar energy deployment causes major challenges to grid stability known in the industry as ‘The Duck Curve’. Figure 1 is the ‘Net Load’ graph by the California Independent System Operator (ISO). During the non-summer months on an average day, the grid can run into the risk of over-generation from 11am to 5pm, and then need to ramp up generation quickly from 5pm to 8pm as solar drops off. "

"California-based CyboEnergy, a subsidiary of control and automation company CyboSoft, has developed what it calls a ‘mini inverter‘ with benefits of both central inverters and microinverters. At its booth at Intersolar 2015, the company showed how its CyboInverters can operate in either on-grid or off-grid mode. A time-based grid power injection feature also allows energy to be stored in batteries and sent to the grid during peak power hours to help grid stability."

"Two years ago I introduced you to the CyboInverter, a "mini-inverter" that combines the best features of string inverters and microinverters. (For more comparisons between string inverters and microinverters, click here.) In that article I wondered why they didn't make a model that could work both on and off the grid. I guess they took my comment seriously because a few weeks ago, Dr. George S. Cheng, chief technical officer of CyboEnergy, contacted me and told me about their newest CyboInverter: a hybrid On-Off Grid inverter. Dr. Cheng believes that CyboEnergy's multimode mini-inverter is the only one of its kind in the industry, so let's take a look at what it does."

"CyboEnergy has announced that the company has been awarded U.S. patent 8,994,218 entitled "Smart and Scalable Off-Grid Mini-Inverters."

This award follows the CyboEnergy 2014 U.S. patent 8,786,133, entitled "Smart and Scalable Power Inverters," covering the unique inverter design with multiple input channels, each of which has its own control and MPPT, solving partial shading problems, maximizing power production, reducing costs and making rooftop solar safer to install and operate."

"Climate change in our world is becoming more catastrophic. Power grid brownouts and shutdowns are more frequent and severe, resulting in loss of production and personal hardship. Solar power backup systems are getting more popular but solar power is wasted when the grid is on. This is because the off-grid power inverters used in backup systems are designed to power AC loads, which cannot send power to the grid."

"Although energy storage based microgrids are attracting a lot of attention and investment, there's a niche for battery-less microgrids. There is a new type of off-grid solar power inverter that can be used with or without batteries. As there are many off-grid solar applications where batteries aren't actually needed, battery-less microgrids are a possibility not previously offered in the industry."

CyboEnergy, Inc. (Rancho Cordova, CA), announced today that it has released a Solar Power Microgrid Design Guide to enable customers and partners to better design off-grid solar power systems or microgrids for their specific applications.

Each year, Frost & Sullivan presents this award to the company that has developed a product with unique features/functionality as well as high quality for customers with complex needs. The award lauds the degree of the products customization and the fit for evolving market trends, which ultimately results in a strong brand perception of the product as being unique.

Based on its recent research on the solar inverter market, Frost & Sullivan presents CyboEnergy with the 2013 Global Frost & Sullivan Award for Product Differentiation Excellence. CyboEnergy's innovative inverter, CyboInverter, combines the merits of a central inverter and a micro inverter and, thereby, successfully addresses the shortcomings of existing inverter types. Frost & Sullivan will present the award to CyboEnergy at its "2014 Excellence in Best Practices Awards Gala" to be held in New Orleans, Louisiana USA, on January 14, 2014.

CyboInverter is a patent-pending solar power Mini-Inverter possessing the key merits of both central inverters and microinverters. As shown in the picture, a number of CyboInverters can daisy-chain with attached AC cables and connectors. Each 4-channel CyboInverter can connect to four solar panels and generate up to 960W AC power. The detailed spec sheets, features, and benefits are available on the website.

US renewable energy company CyboEnergy, a subsidiary of CyboSoft General Cybernation Group Inc., has launched a new patent-pending off-grid microinverter at Intersolar North America, which is being held in San Francisco, United States, from July 9 to 11, 2013. According to the company, the »CyboInverter«, which is available in three models, can be connected to four solar modules and generate up to 960 W (AC).

CyboEnergy, a subsidiary of CyboSoft, General Cybernation Group Inc., based in Rancho Cordova, California (US) will unveil at Intersolar North America the CyboInverter, what it is calling the world's first solar power mini-inverter.

Inverters aren't the flashy part of any photovoltaic array, they're more like the brains, hidden away on the backside of homes or panels. But they do some pretty heavy lifting by converting the DC (direct current) power produced by photovoltaics and converting it into AC (alternating current) used throughout the world. There have been two types of inverters, centralized and micro-inverters-until now.
